Abstract

938,256. Ball joints. V. LANGEN. sept. 30, 1960 [Oct. 3, 1959], No. 33656/60. Class 65 (2). The ball 5, Fig. 5, nests in and is sealed to the socket 1, 7 to form a closed chamber within the socket extending over substantially the full equatorial cross-sectional area of the ball on the side remote from the pin 4, the chamber containing flowable liquid or granular material 6 for absorbing thrust along the axis of the pin in the direction of the ball. The material may be oil or granulated plastic. An annular sealing disc 8 may be secured in the socket, and alternatively or in addition an 0-ring seal may be provided in a groove in the socket. An equatorial plastic bearing ring 9 may be employed to take up forces acting transversely to the pin. An aperture in the socket which may be used for pouring in the material 6 is closed by a screw 3 which adjusts the pressure in the material and compensates for small leakages. In Fig. 4 the ball is in the form of a spherical segment 5<SP>1</SP> surrounding the pin 4, a sealing disc 10 being provided.
